  • To outline the diagnostic and management strategies for pediatric optic nerve abnormalities.
  • To emphasize the importance of identifying associated systemic and neurological conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Fundus photography
  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
  • Visual field testing
  • Color vision evaluation
  • Neuroimaging
  • Genetic testing
